Bloomberg: European Union Climate Commissioner Connie Hedegaard said an early test of President Barack Obamas commitment to combating climate change is how he negotiates an international agreement on aviation emissions. I really believe that when its about finding a global way forward for aviation now, we -- the U.S. and the European Union -- should be on the same side, working for the obvious, namely that if I take a long-haul plane, be it from Washington to Europe or from Europe to Beijing, it is only...
New research takes a global look at methane emissions from oil and gas
2013-02-27 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EnergyWire: Concerns have cropped up in recent years that the methane leaks from oil and gas fields could be large enough to pose a significant climate threat. In various studies, scientists have estimated that anywhere between 1 and 10 percent of natural gas produced leaks through wellheads, transmission lines and compressor stations. Recent measurements from the Uinta Basin of Utah taken by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration set leakage as high as 9 percent. Now, preliminary results are...

Atmospheric Waves Trapped by Emissions Caused Extreme U.S. Heat
2013-02-25 13:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: Man-made greenhouse gas emissions trapped giant air waves in the atmosphere, causing extreme weather events such as a heat wave in the U.S. in 2011 and floods in Pakistan in 2010, researchers in Germany said. The waves usually ship warm and cold air from the Tropics and Arctic to places such as Europe, Russia or the U.S, according to an article to be published this week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Man-made climate change repeatedly disturbs the waves patterns and can trap...
